Safe Environment

Thank you for volunteering at St. Richard Parish!

St. Richard Parish follows the Archdiocese of St. Louis Safe Environment Program (Protecting God’s Children). The program is designed to help protect the youth, elderly, and vulnerable adults of our parish as they participate in activities within our community. This process also provides a layer of protection against the possibility of false accusations for those adults who are involved in our many ministries.

All employees and volunteers who work with children and vulnerable adults must be in full compliance with the Safe Environment Program before they are able to work or volunteer. This includes:

If you have completed the FCSR Worker Registration at another Parish in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, please contact Valerie Tonsor. These forms will need to be filled out again as volunteers need to be compliant at each location.

Volunteers under the age of 18

If you are under 18 years old or still in high school, and wish to volunteer at St. Richard Parish please read and sign theCode of Ethical Conduct for Youth form and return it to Valerie Tonsor in the parish office.
